Reappearance of anti-Semitic activity in Austrian universities was the subject of a conference of university professors held here this weekend. It was pointed out that although there are now only 40 Jews in all this country’s institutions of higher learning, steps must be taken to halt bigotry against them.

The conference adopted a resolution stating that racial discrimination and anti-Semitism cannot be tolerated at universities, and that teachers are resolved to combat these evils.

The Vienna Jewish community today marked the 25th anniversary of the death of famed novelist Stefan Zweig, born here in 1881, who ended his life in exile in Brazil in 1942, when he believed Hitler would conquer the world.
